RAMPS AND JUMPS
Teach a kid to Jump...teach a kid to bike. Learning transition and how to maneuver a bike in the air is a must for future MTB'ers. Get a kid comfortable jumping and you will be on the trails blasting doubles and drops by age 5 or 6 if you put in the time in the front yard, driveway or back alley with a good ramp. Yes, you can always build something out of wood if you have the time but keep in mind wood weathers and the price of materials can be high for the use you get out of it.
Landwave Starter Kit
Made for skateboarding but just as good for bikes, these lego-like ramps can be stacked and built upon each other. The starter kits gets any balance bike and biker through ages 3-7 having fun! Want to go higher and farther? Start adding on block by block.

MTB Hopper Intro
The gateway ramp. The smallest and most affordable MTB Hopper is built for first jumps — short and sharp for lower-speed learning, assembles with no tools, folds flat, and is rated for riders from 6 years old (up to 286 lbs of rider plus bike). Pair it with MTB Hopper's Mini Pad landing for the full backyard setup. We tested the Intro alongside the Coach — read our full review: https://thebikedads.com/mtb-hopper-ramp-review/

MTB Hopper Lite
The smallest ramp in the portable MTB Hopper series, the Lite still can boost a kid or adult into the stratosphere...just ask Sam Pilgrim. The idea with this one is to find a nice grass transition lander around the neighborhood.

MTB Hopper Coach
The most versatile ramp MTB Hopper makes, and a genuine coaching tool. Four adjustable lip positions take it from a first-timer mini jump — complete with a ride-through roll-down — all the way to backflip territory. It rolls on its own wheels, packs flat, and weighs 33 lbs. We put one through its paces here: https://thebikedads.com/mtb-hopper-ramp-review/

MTB Hopper Street
Built for urban missions. The Street is light, short and sharp for lower-speed jumps, friendly to BMX and hardtails, and it transforms into a backpack in about 30 seconds. Point it at stairs, ledges and street spots and go exploring.
MSRP: $349 US | Where to buy: MTB Hopper
MTB Hopper Lil Air
The gateway to real air time. The Lil Air's steep geometry launches riders high rather than far, the height adjusts from 31 to 36 inches, and at 35.5 lbs it rolls on its own wheels to the next spot. Capable of car-sized gaps once skills catch up — pair it with the Pad landing to learn in safety.
MSRP: $549 US | Where to buy: MTB Hopper
MTB Hopper Air
For advanced riders chasing height. The Air's tall, aggressive geometry (53 to 58 inches at the lip) is built for gaps up to 6 metres, step-ups, hips and flips at 25–35 km/h. It needs a proper landing — ideally MTB Hopper's Pad with Extension. A portable jump park, not a starter ramp.
MSRP: $979 US | Where to buy: MTB Hopper
MTB Hopper Area 51
The flagship — built for bikes and motorcycles alike. Area 51 clears 9–12 metre gaps at 30–60 km/h, with two geometry positions (Long Jump and Airy Jump), a 661 lb weight limit, and reinforced mounting loops for events. It still folds into a single briefcase and tows on its wheels. This is the ramp film crews and race organizers reach for.
MSRP: $1,529 US | Where to buy: MTB Hopper
Freshpark Quarter
Put two of these quarters together for a great driveway kicker (mind the gap) for the advanced kiddo! Pull them apart facing each other and create a mini-ramp. Pricey but will hold up as they are a solid metal and urethane build. Measures 47 x 33 x 10 inches.
MSRP: $544 US | Where to buy: Amazon
I tried this Elevate Outdoor wave ramp. It’s built like the plastic car ramps you use to change your cars oil. Quality is good, but the breakover is a bit too aggressive for most bikes wheelbase if you’re just going to roll over it – you’ll hit your chainring. I tried this a on a Giant XTC 24, A Riprock 24, and a Epic Evo adult bike. The other issue was that the other pieces in the series are all differently sized, so you can’t mix and match. Otherwise, its a good neighborhood skate/scooter/sledding ramp.
